  1. Renewable Energy Technology Options

  2. Renewable Energy • Electricity • Heating • Cooling • Transport Fuels • Based on sound Energy Efficiency

  3. Bioenergy Wind Energy Solar Power Hydro Power

  4. Wind Energy

  5. Planning Aspects • Highly visible - very much a ‘statement’ • Access for installation and maintenance • Noise can be an issue • Proximity to airfields, MOD etc. • Light ‘flicker’ • Vibration (if buildings integrated) • SE a preference for ‘clusters’ of up to 5 turbines or single large structures • Strong support for micro-turbines

  6. Technical • Produces electricity • Variable output • Highest output in the winter • Some areas better than others • The larger the turbine the more electricity • The higher the turbine the more electricity • Obstacles cause turbulence which reduces output and increases maintenance costs

  7. Green Park, Reading (2 MWe) Approved • Capable of powering 1,200 local homes and businesses • 118m tip height

  8. Green Park, Reading (2 MWe)

  9. Baydon Meadow, Berkshire (1.3MWe) Appeal • Power for @800 homes • 81m tip height • “Modified” landscape: site 100m north of the M4, close to Membury service area, 1km from the 152m Membury mast

  10. Really Brill

  11. NIMBYism

  12. Solar Energy

  13. Solar Resource South at 30degrees, kWh/m2 • UK has 60% of radiation compared to the Equator • 70% between April and September • High diffuse component

  14. Suitable Locations for Solar • South at 35 degrees ideal • Between E & W is OK • Not heavily shaded

  15. Solar DHW Collectors • Flat Plate – glazed, unglazed • Evacuated tube – heat pipe, direct

  16. Integrated Solar Systems

  17. How It Works

  18. On Roof Mounting

  19. Flat Roofs – Bridgewater Nursery

  20. New Eco Homes – Oxford Citizens HA

  21. New Eco Homes – Chippenham, Westlea Housing Association

  22. Elderly Persons Dwellings - Oxford

  23. Communal Heating (22m2collector area)

  24. School 6th Form Centre and Science Buildings (5.4m2 collectors and 5kWp of PV consoles)

  25. Leisure Centre with Indoor Pool (54m2 collector area)

  26. Space & DHW Heating – Bristol Eco Home
